Do you think you could get away with a smaller one that runs more often?
To expand a little on my yes from earlier, you can run a smaller pump. The trade off is that it will run a bit longer to move the same amount of water/feed. I am currently running one of the little 400gph, plastic aquarium pumps. It's doing alright for my needs at this point. LG is running some beastly chrome pump that gives Optimus Prime impure thoughts. You can still run them the same amount of times per day, the smaller one will just have to run for a little more time. I also have a 1/4hp 1800ish gph pump that is loud as hell when it kicks on and I'm going to test it out to see if it works better for the system to offset the noise it makes when it comes on.
